contents of /etc/hosts gets deleted automatically

[Rajesh Fowkar <rfowkar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi friends,

My /etc/hosts file contains :
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain

I have observed that whenever I run KPPP the contents of /etc/hosts file gets
deleted as a result during the next reboot I get the error 
httpd               [failure]

I have to type the contents again or copy some backup copy of that file back to
/etc directory ? 

Any clue why is this happening ? I tried to make the file readonly chmod 444
/etc/hosts without any success.

What should I do to rectify this ?

Thanks in advance
